C'mon now, Jim. If your British car isn't leaking, it's empty.
I wonder if this may be one reason these cars hold their value so poorly... |
Now I didn't kill myself researching this but:
The 1998 Lotus Esprit's base price appears to have been $82,625. I just found a couple of examples for sale for $37,000 or thereabout. Its resale value appears to be roughly 45% of MSRP.
The 1998 Boxster appears to have had an MSRP of $40,745. Though KBB says its value is now $20,225, lets assume $18,500, a more realistic selling price for a nice '98. Let's see... that's...about... yup, 45% of MSRP.
I wonder how a more comparable 993 would have held up?
